Desk Top Manager For Mac??

Yes, but that isn't done through a virus, it is done through social engineering. It requires the user to download something they shouldn't and give it root access, which includes telling it your password. It is nothing like using Windows, where you can catch self-replicating things with no interaction on your part, and never know it. There are no viruses on Mac, and to be infected with a trojan you must do something stupid and ignore all security warnings and protocols. To catch a nasty on Windows, you have to boot up.

Ok virus talk aside, the advertisement for the 8520 stated "out of box syncing with OS X." And a few 8520's are available at Walmart right now, and the rest will be available in a couple of days. So why is it that we're stuck waiting until September for it if it will sync with the 8520 out of the box?

Because technically it will SYNC, using PocketMac, which is a free download.

Maybe.....i am not sure.....you know these bluetooth Mac keyboards.....they have a tendency to get the period button stuck.....

on another note....i will check with the 8520 forum and see if that device doesn't come with some Mac software....we can dream right......now that i know it is coming.....i would really like to get it now.....i don't want to pay for missingsync since we are so close....and hate pocketcrap......

Mac-heads, I need your help, sorry if this is slightly off-topic. I have a Macbook with Tiger (10.4.x) on it. I read that DM for Mac will work with 10.5.5.5, which is... what? The latest version of Leopard?

10.5 is leopard......10.4 is tiger......10.6 is SNOW LEOPARD!!!!!......it is coming out in sept.......with DM......now it prob won't work right.....hahaha

of coarse it will work with snow leopard, have a little faith! I cant wait for EITHER of those (snow leopard and DM) to come out... sept gonna be a good month!.... on a side note, no bluetooth keyboard here, but that ............ key seems to stick on mine too! lol
